    Yay! More bicycles, please!
    These are Rudge-Whitworth 'path racing' bicycles, with a raised hand on the head-badge!
    Also note the chrome(nickel?)-plated, sloping fork-crown!!
    Great picture!!
    Badge-
    Rudge Headbadge

    P.S. The chainwheels might look like this-
    Rudge chainwheel and crank ('Raleigh Industries' stamp) ,
    although that might be a later development?

    Have they been taking horse tranquilizers or why are the veins standing out in their arms like that?
  • John Spooner said:
    Thanks, Carol. They look as if they mean business. I have doubts as to whether it's the same Tyler Challenge Cup, but Freeman's Aug 27 1895 describes a splendid specimen of the silversmith's art donated by Tyler & Son "the world-famed boot people"

    Other red herrings: a Tyler Cup for GAA in Wexford, another Tyler Cup for something horsey again in Wexford, and another horsey Tyler Cup but in Armagh. All 1890s.

    They are wonderful B&W and composition.

    The way those two guys are sitting on the chairs can only be described as "Rebellious".

    I'd bet the fella in the middle at the back is related to the man seated on the right

    ccferrie Do you think?

    If these guys won a Maiden Fours trophy then they were not a Senior four as listed. It was possible to row above your grade at that time in the more provincial regattas, if there was no entry for the senior levels then a crew could go "pot-hunting" and gather a senior trophy against little or no opposition. However they were then forever locked into the senior grade and could no longer row "Maiden or Junior"! The big trophy in the centre rear with the seven names is most certainly not a fours trophy but this four could have been part of an eight who won it. Lovely old shot and great memories.

and we'll all swing together...

    The New Ross Boat Club had their 21st annual regatta in July of 1898 according to the Freeman's Journal newspaper.

    Megazoom - the inscription on the jug on the bottom step says 'Challenge Cup' which is odd because it's the only trophy which isn't a cup. Below that there's a year. It's not clear but I'd hazard a guess at 1893 or 1895.

    There's a photo of what I assume is Waterford Boat Club (despite the title) given their jackets here with what looks like the same Challenge Cup at the bottom, though turned the other way.

    It was deciphered as the Harbour Commissioners Challenge Cup, when it appeared before:
